"1) The crucifix is the centerpiece of this beautiful shrine. It is massive
2) Multiple indoor chapels around the outdoor area such as Divine Mercy, St Peregrine and more. Each one should be visited and to pray for intercessions.
3) The grounds are very peaceful. Great to pray in nature
4) Gift shop is large
5) The doll museum feels 1970s but is worth looking at. I think the carpets need to be replaced down there.
6) I love how the museum connects to the church. Another place to pray and see the Crucifix without the elements."

"I am not religious at all! I am gay, I grew up protestant. I visited this place on the way to Petoskey because it was listed online as one of those road side attractions you get out of the car and walk to. I saw the giant crucifix in the woods and the nun doll/mannequin museum. I was amazed, the crucifix is truly a work of modern art. And the grounds surrounding it are beautiful, a nice addition I’d say. I can only imagine how nice it is to actually attend this church and have some sermons outdoors or however they use that outdoor bit right below the crucifix, the church grounds also had these lovely statues and some beautiful flowers painting an overall contemporary and peaceful vibe to this establishment. And to that, the nun doll/mannequin museum was a really cool addition and gave you an opportunity as a guest to walk around the church, and see just how differently Christianity is amongst the different churches and branches. The mannequins and the dolls are each dressed to resemble the nun/pope/priest attire of whichever local church was labeled beneath it. Being from Metro Detroit, I thought it was so cool to see attire from nuns from Fraser and Detroit churches to make it to this museum, as well as across our other 50 states. This was also seemingly the largest collection of the sorts in the United States so that was awesome to see. Now, here is my few complaints. Growing up as a protestant: it was against my belief system to prop up Christianity in a way which is selling itself to others. I’ve never in my life been to a church that was so obviously monetary and tried to sell itself as such. I went to a smaller, quite frankly probably dying church, a German Lutheran one. The donations there, while I assume so here aren’t required; we’re definitely not required there. We took in massive amounts of homeless people and fed and housed them on the weekends. Perhaps it is just my smaller community, and the upbringing I have. But when you go, you’ll likely see what I mean; the gift shop, the optional donation boxes scattered around the church and outside. It must be great to exist in such a large and popular denomination, and I’m hoping that with this incredible budget (I’m assuming) the church has, that they do in fact give back to local communities such as mine did. Nonetheless, it was an interesting stop and I’m happy that I stopped by to see it."
